Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether HS2 Ltd followed European procurement rules in seeking bids for Euston station master planning and architectural work; and which companies submitted conforming bids.
HS2 Ltd is required to follow the Utilities Contracts Regulations (these enshrine the European procurement rules), which it did for the Euston Station Vision and Master Plan work. Seven firms were invited to tender; these were AECOM-Hyder, Arup, Atkins, Capita Symonds-Ineco, Jacobs, Mott Macdonald and WSP UK Ltd and 3 conforming bids were received.
